Billions spent on AI, and this is the sort of garbage we get! #Google
Rand Paul correctly blocks Chuck Schumer's idiotic attempt to rush through surveillance bill to address nonexistent NJ drone threats. Schumer is as bad as the others. He's playing up this nonsense for his own political purposes. When Rand Paul has to be the sensible one, we're all in big trouble.

Ward Christensen, co-founder of first online BBS system and creator of XMODEM, dies at 78. Peace.
When you write questions to #Google Gemini AI with the specific hope that they will land on the screens of human reviewers who will do spit takes upon reading them.
♫ "Can't get enough of that Sugar Crisp!" ♫
Great idea. Speed its ultimate demise. Excellent! DO IT, ELON! - Musk tells Netanyahu that he plans to charge all users to use #Twitter.

Another key point about #Google Games and Violence: https://mastodon.laurenweinstein.org/@lauren/110787135672772675
It's absolutely stunning that in the current political environment #Google would move to *INCREASE* the amount of violence in games. Utterly tone deaf. "Follow the money" is the obvious explanation I can think of. Or some sort of death wish? Maybe both.
Let Elon scream "X" at the top of his lungs to his fanboys and his mirrors. Ignore him. Leave all existing references to #Twitter as they are. He will rant into the wind, as Twitter continues its inexorable race downward toward its ultimate ignominious end. Simple. Neat. Effective. Q.E.D.
Musk is apparently imminently changing the #Twitter logo from the blue bird (which Twitter long said was a key asset) to some form of X. More appropriate would be EX, because that's what the endgame will be for Twitter on its current path.

So basically #Meta is saying, "Our Threads app is so incredibly privacy invasive that we won't even try to launch it in Europe now, and will instead depend on sucker Americans to be our chumps."

Yes, #Google could destroy the best of the Internet: https://mastodon.laurenweinstein.org/@lauren/110616816635505820
Putin should just declare victory in Ukraine and retire to Mar-a-Lago.

Wait until #Google execs realize that they can save even more money by shutting down 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

Maybe getting your domains from #Google wasn't such a good idea in the first place. Surprise! - Google Domains apparently shutting down, ~10 million domains being acquired by Squarespace - https://mastodon.laurenweinstein.org/@lauren/110551340540068115
"If we don't regulate AI -- AI will regulate us." - Not a statement predicting evil computers, but the reality of how AI systems will permeate every aspect of our lives and cannot be permitted to do so in less than a rigorously regulated environment.
